Summary[edit]

Description

July 17 is marked as the World Day for International Justice. World Day for International Justice recognises the nascent and strengthening system of international justice that has emerged since the Nuremburg and Tokyo Trials after World War II. Numerous efforts to provide justice and redress for the most unspeakable acts of inhumanity have brought forth increasingly powerful international justice mechanisms from the International Court of Justice.

The date for the commemoration was selected as July 17 when the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court began after the adoption of the Rome Statute in 2002. Each year, people around the world use this day to host events to promote international criminal justice, especially support for the International Criminal Court. The day has been successful enough to attract international news attention, and for groups to use the day to focus attention on particular issues.

The items shown here relate to the process of setting up the War Trials in Nuremberg and Tokyo after World War 2. These trials can be seen as precursors to the work the International Criminal Court carries out today. Archives New Zealand holds a range of correspondence on New Zealand's involvement in the trials in Nuremberg and Tokyo and the various discussions they had with the United Kingdom and the USA to ensure their views and concerns were addressed in the trials of War Criminals.
